This book analyses the historical, legal, and literary sources of the region during the medieval period to explore different aspects of Scandinavian culture relating to food and drink: production, consumption (including feasts), trading (distribution), and the associated social rituals. Using new and innovative approaches, this collection of studies offers broad insights into a great variety of social practices and includes fresh information on not only social history but also traditional topics such as trade, commercial exchange, legal regulation, and political organisation. The book unites contributors from a variety of backgrounds, further enriching the content of a collection that promises to make a significant contribution to the state of current research. 410 0$aEarly medieval North Atlantic ;$vVolume 15. 606 $aDinners and dining 606 $aFood habits 615 0$aDinners and dining. 615 0$aFood habits. 676 $a641.54 702 $aGyo?nki$b Vikto?ria 702 $aMaraschi$b Andrea 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910795845403321 996 $aFood Culture in Medieval Scandinavia$93762291 997 $aUNINA
